We, the aforesigned general public of NI, are disgusted and outraged at this decision.

We do not believe that our elected representatives have earned this reward, based on the underperformance on policy issues relating to the socio-economic development in the region and disproportionately negative correlation towards the electorate.

MLA pay rises should remain frozen without regard for excessive expenses being brought under control, until such times as socioeconomic targets are met for the electorate.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
